Occasionally I sell some of the original manuals that I have duplicates of, or other items that I think would be of
interest. Some are from my collection, or items I've found while hunting for more manuals. All items are guaranteed
to be genuine to the time period. I don't buy reproductions unless absolutely necessary to fill a need for a rare
manual. If something is not original, it will be clearly stated in the ad. Prices are subject to negotiation and trading.

For these items, only Paypal, Western Union, and credit cards will be accepted for foreign buyers.

Angolia's Uniforms and Traditions of the German Army - 1933-1945

One set of 3 volumes, in excellent clean condition. $250, SOLD -I do not have another.

MG42 and MG34 Ruptured Case Extractors

I have ONE MG34 ruptured case extractor for sale for $135, and ONE MG42 ruptured case extractor for sale for $150. The MG42 has the pins in a different location, and the ends of the pins have a groove to easily distinguish it from the tool for the MG34 tool. This will pull a torn or stuck shell casing from the chamber, whether or not the shell base is present. One end grabs hold of the shell base, the other is inserted inside the shell if the base is torn off. A must have tool to keep from scratching the chamber when emoving a ruptured shell. This was a German army standard issued tool for the tool pouch. Prices do not include postage. Foreign orders are welcome, registered mail or insurance is required. A sample picture of the MG42 tool is below. The MG34 tool is in similar (excellent) condition. The rusty look in the pictures is the old grease, which has since been soaked clean. I can provide pictures of the exact tool you will receive if requested, but they're all the same.
RUPTURED CASE EXTRACTORS ARE SOLD. I do not have any others.

The Finnish Submachine Gun Suomi M/31 - by Michael Heidler

The "9,00 konepistooli M/31“, most often only tenderly called "Suomi", is one of the best known Finnish weapons of the Second World War. Till today it stands for perfect quality and highest precision, and it taught the Russian invaders the meaning of fear.
This book will give an insight into the history of this extraordinary weapon, from its development via the manufacturing through to its use in Winter War (1939 – 1940), Continuation War (1941 – 1944) and finally in Lapland War (1944 – 1945). It also describes the lesser known variations like the bunker- and tank-Suomi, the magazines and the accessories.
The majority of the wartime photos used in this book were never published before.

Recommended Books

Truppenführung H.Dv. 300/1 - Troop Command - On the German Art of War. H.Dv. 300/1 is the philosophy and doctrine of the German Army in a book. Absolutely worth the read if you're serious about learning the details of the German way of how to conduct and command the German armed forces in WWII. This book was translated and published in 2001 by Condell and Zabecki.. I don't sell it, but found my copy on eBay. It is also for sale on Amazon. This is one that I thought of translating myself, but someone else already did, and did a good job of it, too. 6" x 9", 300 pages.
I highly recommend it. I do not sell it, I only recommend it.

German Manufacturing Codes to 1945 - This book was written by Michael Heidler.
Please contact him directly if you're interested in his book. I do not sell it, I only recommend it.

Here is what he had to say:

Michael Heidler <GGBuch@web.de> wrote:

Dear friends,
After many years of waiting and looking for a publisher, my book about the German manufacturers codes of WW2 is now
finished. Some days ago I got the first package from the print shop.
The book has more than 500 pages, is sorted in two ways (after codes and after company-names), contains ALL code systems
(abbreviations, number-codes, letter-codes, LDO-numbers for medals & insignias and the RZM-numbers for NSDAP- &
SS-equipment). The official list with letter codes end with "ozz", but I was able to add three pages of later codes.
And the best fact: The foreword and the text is written in German and English!
The part with the codes is not translated, because there is not much to translate. But I have forced the publisher to print the text
in English language too. I think it's very important to know the background and the development of the code systems. I have
found many original documents in archives to reproduce the way of the development step by step.
There will be no commercial distribution to dealers outside Germany, so if someone might be interested, I can only send books
from me.
If someone is interested, the price is 35,- EUR in Europe incl. postage.
To the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan it's 60 USD for a single book by airmail incl. postage.
I have attached some pics!
With best wishes from Germany

Kriegsprache - Glossary of World War II German Military- and Period-Specific Words, Phrases, and Abbreviations for
Historians, Researchers, and Hobbyists, compiled by Thomas L. Houlihan II. If you're interested in reading and interpreting
any of the original documents of the day, this is a great military dictionary, and so much more. Abbreviations are thoroughly
listed, and phrases that escape the usual translations are all contained in this book. I bought a copy and it has helped with
translating the manuals I've done. Use the link below to see where to buy this book.
I consider this book a must have for those with any interest in this era.
